Arrrrggghhhhh!

Zoe just can't catch a break. Just after her last surgery, she contracted a stomach bug (we posted about this earlier). We are now back in the hospital due to complications surrounding the C. Diff.
At first we thought that she may have developed a condition called Megacolon (you an google it), but after a CT scan, one of the Dr's says that most of the swelling is fluid in the abdominal wall, and other tissue. While we are still not possitive about the cause, we are hopeful about the prognosis. I am a bit frustrated that we were being told again that it was nothing to worry about, when it is. It tells me that as parents it is our job to make sure that the right questions are being asked, and that we are finding difinitive answers. The main thing is that we are staying ahead of each of these things, as we find them. I just wish we could stop these things, before they happen. We were supposed to be having a break to heal and enjoy the summer.
